. >> laur yashgs i wonder what your view of that is. the defense has a lower standard, of course. they just have to create a reasonable doubt. they don't have to prove anything in effect. what is their best path at this point? >> well, it's a substantial causal factor aspect. what you saw last week is the notion that normally you have police officers in this blue code this blue wall of silence. you saw the opposite. you saw the extension of a 10 foot pole from each officer who is testifying from even the paramedic who's are very clear that person they believe who is george floyd, they knew later, was actually already dead. they believe, when they saw him and trying to give him a, quote, second chance at life. 911 dispatcher and all points -- all of the directions are saying, look this was not a reasonable use of force. what they're going to try to hang their hat on is that, okay, fine f fine, even fit wasn't a reasonable use of force that, still is not the cause of george floyd's death. they're going to point to other things. the idea of drug use, the idea of perhaps other conditi

kathryn flynn she defended baltimore police officer garrett miller in the death of fredddie gray and laur coats. laura, describe based on your experience if you can, the impact on a jury. it a jury of 12 human beings, right, when they see this up close through the body camera footage, right? this is a man dying slowly. when they hear him calling for his mother in that instance there. how do juries react to that kind of thing? >> remember, during the voir dire process some of them never seen the original 8 minute 46 second video we first saw. seeing that for the first time two days ago and seeing this and hearing the testimony from keep agers, somebody as young as 9. imagine if the 61-year-old is breaking down like that on the stand, what is the trama that is being associated with t tthe 9-year-old, the 18-year-old, the firefighter, as well. the mixed marshall arts fighter who spoke about these issues. all of this is the combination of so much and these words will ch churn around in jurors minds and looking towards derek chauvin the defendant in this case, why didn't you move? why didn't t

senior legal analyst lara laur coates joins us to discuss this. dr. martin tobin, a pulmonary expert, he described in great detail yesterday watching the testimony, and i think in ways that laymen like myself and crucially the jurors could understand. the process of breathing and how floyd's breathing gradually stopped. and making a direct connection between that and the use of force. from your point of view, how crucial was that testimony? >> oh, this was, by far, the most compelling testimony that we've heard in this trial. jim, that includes the very emotional, heart-wrenching testimony of bystanders. why? in part because perhaps people didn't see this coming. his methodical cadence. the way in which he was so informative. he seemed to not try to influence but essentially just inform. and when he did, we learned so much. probably many jurors who had no idea what a pulmonologist was. the expertise in the respiratory system and chest cavity. he broke it down in a digestible way that people were actually, through his demonstrative statements like touc

laur laura, talk to me about what we saw play out in the courtroom?e to provide all information in advance of trial. they can use their case in chief when they present all the witness testimony to really drive home the point the prosecutoral strategies that they want to pursue. once that happens, the defense takes the stand. they are now in control. the defense. so what this is all about is now the prosecution has an opportunity to do what is called a rebuttal case. meaning, they can now try to undermine the strategies and theories that have been promoted by the defense. but there are some constraints there. you can't use your rebuttal case as a prosecutor to introduce what you're calling new evidence. but there are things you could have raised in your own presentation of evidence. unless the defense has some basis to say it was a brand new theory and now you're doing this. the reason why, judges don't want to give prosecutors two bites of the apple. they don't want redundant testimony. if you could have raised it earlier, you should have. you had you
